I guess I can determine if it's a 9mm or 30 Luger by dropping in a 9X19 and if it chambers then its a 9mm, if it only goes in partially, then it's a 30 right? I don't have any 30 Luger brass but if I recall, the 30 Luger is a bottle-neck cartridge right?

I also read online and in one book that a couple of different manufacturers made the DWM Luger like Mauser and DWM? I am sorry for the dumb questions, I don't know the history on German Firearms. If it's Russian or American Military weapons, I'm all over it but don't know any history on these things. Thank you again for your help guys!!
